Akshardam Visit ( 28-12-2006) Akshardam Temple in New Delhi is same as that in Gujarat. It is in a huge area (100 acres). In the Main Shrine lies a huge statue of Bhagwan Swaminarayan with his disciples , born in 1800.. believed to be a reincarnation of God, and also statues of other Gods (Shiva Parvati, Sita –Ram ). The inside is neat and beautiful, lush gardens, beautiful structure. Some Interesting things: 1.At the base of the main shrine, there are hundreds of elephant’s statues, the concept is animals (particularly elephant and humans), and it is also have some stories from Panchatantra, which are interesting. 2.There is Very big “Yagna Kundalam”, which is unique and I have not seen one, this is also the place where they have the musical fountain. 3.There are some shows, one movie, the life of NeelanKanth, child hood of Swaminarayan, well taken (shown in IMAX big screens), and there is another show using series of robotic toys.
